He had finally fallen asleep around five AM.
Now the cheap digital alarm clock that was sat on the old, beat-up bedside table glowed 10:00. The Joker was lying on a moth-eaten couch clad in only his boxers. He rubbed his eyes and his hands came away coated in grease paint. He reminded himself to bathe before he left to go take care of his 'real estate business'.
He stretched and sat up. Smacking his lips he wandered to his make-shift kitchen. Opening the fridge he found milk, bologna, and a horribly rotten apple that was almost unrecognizable.
"Yuck," He stated plainly. He looked at the bologna with disdain. "Apparently you are my only choice."
He took the bologna out of its wrapping and took a bite. He sat down on his couch to eat it and turned it on to 'Good Morning Gotham!'
"-crime rate has significantly gone down even though Harvey Dent is no longer the DA." A reporter stated.
"And I assume that you're going to say that this is due to the Batman?" The reporter next to him commented while chuckling.
"Well exactly, yes!"
"Hah, c'mon now! It's due to our new DA, George Fay!" Reporter two said. A picture of said Fay appeared on the screen. Reporter two was about to go into detail about the man, but Reporter one interrupted.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Please, that guy has done jack squat! Batman has turned more criminals to justice-" He stopped and licked his lips. Once he found his words, he continued. "Batman could be our District Attorney!"
Reporter two shook his head in disbelief. "We'll be back after this brief commercial," Reporter two said before the screen went to the logo of GCN.
"Crime rate significantly decreasing my ass!" Joker mumbled as he stood and made his way to his bathroom chuckling.
He threw off his boxers and examined his cut, bruised, and bleeding shoulder.
"Ehh….Band-aid? No…" He shrugged and stepped into the shower. He held back a hiss as the cold water stung his cut. He had almost been bullet riddled at his heist the night of last. He had cleaned himself up at The Iceberg before continuing his propaganda with the Mafia. Speaking of which…..I should be expecting a call.
That's when he remembered her.
The Blonde demon dancing like a wild jungle animal.
"Ahh No! Instant hard-on," The Joker seethed. "Son of a-" He Glared down at himself. "GO AWAY." He then thought of her screaming and gyrating about. The flip…
"Errggg NO!" He face-palmed. "Alright fine! Gross thoughts, Gross thoughts! Ummm…..Grandma?" He growled and gave up.
Realizing that nothing would keep the Woman out of his head, he finished bathing and stepped out.
He slipped on a pair of worn, faded blue jeans and a navy blue T-shirt. He pulled on his chucks, and grabbed a jacket for the chilly spring weather.
Grabbing his keys from in between the cushions of the couch, he stepped outside to where a truck awaited him.
Harley pulled up to the warehouse and turned off the engine.
She had visited a night before, but she missed her babies. She padded her way to the backdoor of the warehouse where she unlocked it and slipped inside.
She began the trek up the rickety staircase to the top floor. She could hear the whines of her hyenas. They knew she was there.
"Babies," Harley sang. "Bud-Bud and Lou- Lou!"
They whined louder as their mommy approached.
The Joker had arrived and executed the rumble of the engine. Stepping out of the vehicle, he twirled the key ring around his fingers. Whistling, he walked to the backdoor to find it unlocked. Odd? He shrugged his shoulders and continued into the building. Maybe he'd find an unlucky trespasser? The Joker chuckled darkly.
The moment he walked in and shut the door, he could hear laughter and yips. Strange laughter, He mused. He made his way up the steps.
Sounds almost like a hyena? Then he saw her.
She was rolling around on the floor with two hyenas while cooing at them. This was unreal. His blonde demon. There. In his warehouse! His new hideout! With…a key? Well, he knew how to put that key of hers into use. He smirked.
She hadn't noticed him. Good, He thought. He sauntered over to her and standing right next to her exclaimed,
"BOO!"
Squealing, she jumped up. Breathing heavy, she turned to look at him.
"BAHH! What...What are you doing here?"
